Book Description
"A HIGHLY ORIGINAL DYSTOPIAN MASTERPIECE" --Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize winning author of March "FOR ALL THE POETRY AND LYRICISM, THE CHIMES IS A SOLID SUSPENSEFUL ADVENTURE STORY AT HEART" --NPR Books A mind-expanding literary debut composed of memory, music and imagination. A boy stands on the roadside on his way to London, alone in the rain. No memories, beyond what he can hold in his hands at any given moment. No directions, as written words have long since been forbidden. No parents--just a melody that tugs at him, a thread to follow. A song that says if he can just get to the capital, he may find some answers about what happened to them. The world around Simon sings, each movement a pulse of rhythm, each object weaving its own melody, music ringing in every drop of air. Welcome to the world of The Chimes. Here, life is orchestrated by a vast musical instrument that renders people unable to form new memories. The past is a mystery, each new day feels the same as the last, and before is blasphony. But slowly, inexplicably, Simon is beginning to remember. He emerges from sleep each morning with a pricking feeling, and sense there is something he urgently has to do. In the city Simon meets Lucien, who has a gift for hearing, some secrets of his own, and a theory about the danger lurking in Simon's past. A stunning debut composed of memory, music, love and freedom, The Chimes pulls you into a world that will captivate, enthrall and inspire.

Book Description
Judy and her young FBI husband Peter Dobbs go to the airport in Washington, D.C., to meet Peter's sister Honey, who is going to visit them for a week and take in the many interesting sights. Back at the motel where the three are stopping, Honey is amazed to find that accidentally she has picked up the wrong suitcase. Instead of the pretty suits that she herself had designed, the bag contains some very old-fashioned garments, an old diary dated 1847, and an old coffee mill. Even more startling is Peter's discovery of a sheaf of notes on solar science stuffed inside the drawer of the coffee mill. The odd clothes remind Honey of two quaintly dressed little old ladies who were on the plane with her. And later, when she and Judy and Peter catch a glimpse of the same old ladies in the company of the new artist whose arrival at the Dean Studios caused Honey to lose her job there, the three young detectives are even more perplexed. At a solar science exhibit in the Smithsonian Institution, Judy picks up the first slim clue to an increasingly baffling mystery and starts on her dangerous secret quest for its solution.--seriesbooks.info/bolton.html
